COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS BRING DISCOVERY Many of today's complex problems require multidisciplinary solutions, and significant advances are being made where the sciences interface. The Biomedical and Physical Sciences Facility will facilitate exchange by breaking down departmental walls, uniting people of various disciplines, and creating and fostering opportunities for meaningful collaboration.A central science library opening onto a light-filled atrium will encourage cross-disciplinary exchange among faculty, students and visitors. A network of lab space, flexibly designed to respond to the ever-changing needs of science, will enrich research in critical interdisciplinary areas. Floors will be devoted to the study of chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes and heart disease; genetics and genetic diseases; environmental quality and bioremediation; materials science; and elementary particle physics, astrophysics, and instrumentation.
